My experience at Riposo del Vento was different from what I expected after 10 experiences (WP / WA). Juan was kind and helpful, and I had freedom to explore. However, some work rules arose during my stay, causing misunderstandings. The work is mainly outdoors under the sun. I also suffered a lot of bites (probably bed bugs), causing discomfort. I felt little integration into family life and was uncomfortable asking for some things. It may suit someone seeking independence, but it wasn't a good fit for me. I recommend rent a car: public transport is limited and bus stop is about 4 km away.

Getting to know Juan, his family, and his house was my favourite part of Italy. He is truly an inspiring person, a friend, a mentor, a great guitar player, full of skills and willingness to teach. I did so many different fulfilling tasks — taking care of horses, trimming and caring for olive trees, cooking, and so much more. He taught me so much about the culture, cuisine, and how to live a life that I could be proud of. This was my first experience, and I wouldn't change a thing. It felt like a home away from home. The work is simple, organized, and the hours were always respected. Thank you!

It was a very pleasant experience, throughout I felt a genuine interest in my well-being and my comfort, all the members of the family were very friendly, they opened the doors of their home for me in such a way that I always felt included. The tasks were varied and the working times were respected. I carry with me a thousand smiles, the memory of wonderful music and the warmth of a spectacular family.

Juan e Francesca me receberam muito bem e não mediram esforços para que eu me sentisse em casa. A energia familiar te faz sentir parte e existe muita conexão com a vida local.. O lugar é muito lindo e as atividades são muito tranquilas e flexíveis. Passei dias incríveis nesse lugar e recomendaria a qualquer pessoa. Agradeço o carinho e toda empatia! Vocês foram muito bons pra mim e sou grata por esses dias aqui ♡

Fue una muy bonita experiencia, Juan es un buen host que está al pendiente de lo que uno requiera y los horarios se acomodan bien a la situación. Si recomiendo esta experiencia si estás buscando desconectarte un momento de las redes sociales y descansar, es un lugar muy bonito.

El proyecto eco-turistico es genial, tiene desarrollada todas las funciones, las instalaciones son limpias, la familia del anfitrión es genial, las labores que desarrolle se centraron en mejorar los jardines centrales cerca a la piscina. Me invitaron a una reunión de amigos de la familia y fue un rato muy ameno, se aprende acerca de la cultura y de comida de la región.

Juan y su familia estaban pendientes de mi bienestar, mis tareas y que pueda sociabilizar con la gente del lugar, sus amistades, sus eventos, etc Me llevaban a pasear y conocer diferentes sitios, pueblos, playas. Me hicieron sentir muy bien, cómoda y fueron super generosos conmigo todo el tiempo. Amé la conexión con la naturaleza y los habitantes no humanos que allí vivían. Aprendí tareas que nunca había realizado. Estoy muy agradecida con todos ellos. Para quiénes quieran ir, deben saber que la movilidad hasta otros sitios es algo reducida. Pero hay muchas opciones! Yo Volvería!!!
